When I had Hollands, they pretty much always did this. What I would do is VERY CAREFULLY cut the hunk out, and make sure to trim any nearby unaffected fur to prevent it from happening again.

Personally, I would take the pick of the litter, consider it a lesson learned, and put everything in writing in the future. For me, it wouldn't be worth the bad blood between relatives. After all, it isn't like you are out something. In the dog world, typical stud fee is either a $ amount or...

Double check that it's a buck and a doe. Last time I had them acting like that, I had 2 does...

Palate her belly, feeling for lumpy things, not just size. If no lumps, go ahead and rebreed. If you just missed kits, she will possibly take great offense to the buck's desires, or it could stimulate her to hurry up and have them. If her belly is lumpy, I'd wait it out a couple more days.

Doesn't really answer your questions, but you could add 1/2" hardware cloth to the sides to prevent chewing. Some may disagree, but the size should work for a while, my 10# New Zealand does did fine kindling and raising young in that size. Up to 10 kits until weaning at 6 weeks old. Not totally...

Maybe try taking the pics outside in natural light. The house lighting is making it very difficult.

Definitely looking sable chinchilla now.

My understanding is that a lot injectable will still be available. Below is a link to information, including more links. https://www.jefferspet.com/pages/vfd-2017

I don't give any. I did at one time years ago, but I live in Florida, land of humidity, and would find water literally dripping from them. This was starting to do a number on the wire, so I quit. It wasn't like they were using them anyway.

Pretty much everything that has already been said, but some people think that wire is just wrong. However, I read about an experiment where they had large group pens and had half of each wire and solid. The rabbits spent significantly more time on the wire half. But I do agree that it is good to...

Not sure what it is, but her being half herding dog, be careful with the ivomec, she is higher risk. If you do use the ivomec, start with an extremely small dose, increasing daily until up to a full dose. If you notice any neurological symptoms, stop the ivomec immediately.

I know this post is kinda old, but I have had a litter of 4 with 2 big and 2 small, alive, Florida White. The name of your doe and your location piqued my interest, as mine have a relative (aunt) named pickles. I am in North Florida, mine came from central florida.

How do you know she absorbed? She may have just had the 2 that time, and she might not have "taken". Make sure she isn't fat, internal fat can cause them to not get pregnant. And they can have false pregnancies.

I don't know the answer as to when to treat, but I would look to preventing future infection. How are your rabbits housed? On the ground, solid bottom, wire, partially solid, etc.

Where in Florida are you? Tallahassee area by any chance? I've got Florida Whites and New Zealands. Also currently have a Holland Lop doe bred to my Florida White buck, lol.
